The Shell Game of Corrupted Government Exposed
How to Control College Costs in 2023 and Beyond
The universities have changed a great deal in the last 20 years, particularly in the character of the bureaucracies, which are now staffed mainly by graduates of our abysmal education schools-"advanced"-degree-holders in "educational leadership," "student affairs," and other such nonsense. The damage done by these bureaucrats is immeasurable, as they harass and harangue students outside of class time in a round-the-clock process of what they call "milieu management." Much good might come from the abolition of these programs and the shifting of resources to other more rigorous venues in the university. We might even cut a few millions from the bottom line.
But if Heinerscheid is any indication, the social-justice agenda is extending into business schools. Even as Wharton produced the marketing bonehead who destroyed one of America's iconic beer brands in a matter of weeks, the school now offers a new MBA program that actually appears to be modeled on the Bud Light disaster. Wharton, which produced Heinerscheid, is doubling down on this type of posture with a new, valueless MBA program-Heinerscheid redux.
The program is called the "MBA Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) Major," and, from what can be determined from the program description, it offers no value-added to any firm that hires one of its graduates. In fact, given that the program is grounded in the type of social engineering that Heinerscheid applied at Bud Light, it's likely that firms will ultimately regret having any association with it. It launches this fall-have a look and judge for yourself whether the program has "money pit" written all over it.
Is this a good business decision by a business school? Or is it a sop to bring in marginal students duped by ideology? As one of my colleagues remarks, "Let's find out what the finance students think about the new 'diversity MBA' cohort."

A societal numbingly poor product subsidizing generations of Democratic Socialists at the expense of families of hardworking Americans, goaded into believing the necessity of this failed education paradigm; and, the taxpayers alike, also asked to finance this massive public ripoff.
